Não pessoa, não carrinho, não cow!

Half a year has passed since we arrived in Portugal. We haven't cycled a lot. Maybe we got put of by this sign... it's the first one we've come across that is trying to tell cows to stay away. 




The Ecovia is still falling apart, so we took to the hills and valleys.

Spring in the Algarve was full of wildlife...


 
.... and efforts to get ready for the tourist season...
little bit of nice tidying up going on in this garden....first appearances you know!


Our friend Joao from Maozorra invited us to play at Marionetas em Oeiras close to Lisbon. We was very happy to be on the road for a week with our bikes and we had buckets of fun in Oeiras, playing, meeting all the children from the neighbourhood, watching puppets from all over the world!









We came away inspired and ready to make a new show!

Virtual reality is encroching on real reality... the conceptualism of health and safety, the surrealism of bicycle theatre, umbrellas and cats...
“No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it”
Fernando Pessoa
Oh dear! Which is which? 

 



Thank you jogger for assisting us to negotiate the entrance to the cycle lane...

Surrealism is the natural order of things... for us cyclists anyway.

The first one we like.... the latter, paradoxically we don't, as it is a sticker more than often pasted on to the back of peoples petrol guzzling machines.
Mattress delivery....

Moving on with flowers in our heads, got a new pen, promise we write more soon....

Balade a velo jusqu’a le gare de Jouet avec spectacle spectaculaire


Our hosts Sophie and Pierre (on the left) organised a lovely pic nic for us. Everyone came along, including uncle Bernard and the wrong son Andreas. We had a nice and gentle ride along the Voie Verte from Belin Beliet to the Gare de Jouet, all tout droit and very flat.
The pic nic was delicious …. clafoutis with cherries from the garden, gooey chewy almondy crunchy biscuits with the coffee….
